I went to a local show last night for the first time in ages. The headline act were a bunch of douchebags called Your Demise. They suck pretty hard, but the crowd went mental and watching them made it worth staying until the end (I'm talking people swinging from the lighting fixtures).
The first three bands were awesome though and it's kind of got me into music again, I've been out of it for way too long. I only caught the end of the first band, called Basement, but they had this kind of hardcore sound but not too OTT that I don't mind listening too. The second band were called Man Overboard, typical pop-punk style singing about girls and highschool and talking on the phone to your crush etc. The band were all scrawny little geeks which I loved and the atmosphere in the crowd for them was really happy and smiley, everybody was dancing and bouncing around, so much fun! The third band were Trapped Under Ice and they were **** brilliant. They had this real edgy hardcore sound mixed with a kind of hiphop feel, they reminded me of a more hardcore Beastie Boys. They put on SUCH a good performance and the crowd got brutal. I got kicked in the head as somebody behind me just jumped into the pit. **** ace show.
